Lady Raiders win both games of softball season opener doubleheader

Saturday was a good day for the Lady Raiders, who defeated the Lady Bears in Brewster in both games of a double header.

LR won the first game 10-0, and the next 14-4.

“Great way to open up the season,” Head Coach Jaci Gross said. “We were tentative hitters, and that will change. We were pleased with our defensive effort. Specifically, the one-two punch of Aaliyah Marchand and Presley Steffens on the mound. We are very excited about our season this year.”

Marchand struck out 11 batters in four innings in the first game, while Steffens struck out six batters in three innings.

In the second game, Emma Marchand struck out four batters in four innings, and Steffens struck out five runners in two innings.

The Lady Raiders were scheduled to play against Cascade High School in an away game yesterday.

On March 24 they are scheduled to host Okanogan in Grand Coulee at 4:30 p.m. March 26 they’ll host Bridgeport in a doubleheader starting at 11 a.m.
